Chapter 7- Goodbye.
Katy panicked. They were fighting. Riddick looked to his left for a split second and saw Katy. Johns noticed her and smirked. He slid under Riddick's arm and towards Katy. She froze to her spot as he grabbed her around the throat.
"Step any closer and I'll break her neck." Johns threatened. Katy grew angry. Why would he be so pathetic to bring her into it. Riddick could see the anger burning in her eyes. She was going to snap. He could tell.
"Get your hands off me." She growled. He put a hand over her mouth. Bad idea. She bit him and, being a 'super killer' she had sharp fangs. He drew his hand away and looked at it shocked. He was bleeding. This drove the creatures insane. They were ravenous and the smell of his blood just riled them up even more. She looked up at Riddick and he could see, Katy was no longer there. Not the Katy he had fallen for. The sweet, graceful Katy that wouldnt hurt any one. She was definitely gone. This Katy scared him. All her thought patterns were messed up. She no longer cared about protecting the others. She wanted Johns dead.
And she wanted to be the one to kill him.
"Bad move Johns." She growled. She grabbed the arm that was around her neck and in a split second it had gone from being straight to bent. She heard the crunch of his bone snapping. He cried in pain. She let go of him and he staggered back a little, but never stepping out of the light. She spun around to face him directly.
"Nobody fucks with me and lives to speak about it." She growled. He was holding his now broken arm. The bone had pierced his skin, making more blood drip onto the sand. She could hear the creatures all around screeching and crying, dying to eat every inch of his flesh. "Who would you prefer to kill you? Me, or those creatures?" Katy asked him. He stuttered. He didn't want to die.
"I'll take my chances with you." He replied. It was obvious he felt dizzy. He could barely stand up straight. His eyes were threatening to close and let him faint, he was doing all he could to avoid that fate. Katy smirked showing her fangs.
"Riddick. Shivv." She said holding her hand out, palm upwards. He threw it and she caught it. She tightened her grip around it. "Remember the one rule Johns." She mumbled and ran towards him. He tried to move out of her way, but failed. The knife sliced into his side. More blood spilt. The creatures screeched again. Katy laughed.
"Katy." Riddick mumbled shocked. She looked up to meet his eyes. For a brief second he saw her. The real Katy. So kind and gentle. Then she was gone. All that he knew about her was gone in a split second. Replaced by this... This... Animal. There was no other way to describe her really. She was a murderous, savage animal. She was worse than Riddick. Johns was loosing a lot of blood in a short amount of time.
"Let me die already." He moaned. He was tired of this. He wanted it to be over. He wanted the creatures to finish him off. Not her. He knew they would kill him quick whilst she would prefer to torture him and then kill him. It was tragic really. He knew that she would never give up murdering him to the creatures. After taunting her and her sister for so long, she was glad to be the one to kill him.
After what seemed like hours of continuous torture from Katy, Johns could tell he was soon about to die. He could feel it. Some strange force leading him out of this world and into another, but Katy wouldn't let him have that satisfaction yet. He fell to his knees and she kicked his chest making him fall over onto his back. She kneeled down next to him and slowly dragged the blade down his cheek, giving him yet another cut. She then spoke for the first time during the whole torture.
"So Johns. Quick or slow?" She asked, her voice laced with venomous poison.
"Just kill me already." He whispered as he wasn't strong enough to make his voice louder. Katy could smell his blood. That strong smell that drove the creatures insane. Riddick could smell it too. It was horrendous. The amount of blood that covered the sand was overwhelming. There was hardly any of the gold showing anymore. She was bored of torturing him now. It was time to kill him. She lifted her arm up and within a split second the knife had come down, slicing through the air and straight into his heart. She rather enjoyed the spongey flesh that cushioned the blow of the knife.
"Have fun Johns. People like you don't deserve to go to heaven." She snarled and twisted the knife, making the wound deeper and wider. With that Riddick could practically see Johns' soul leave his body. He shuddered. He didn't know what to do next. How could he get Katy back to herself? He walked to her. She spun around and looked at him. He took the shiv and with a quick flick of his wrist the blood splattered onto the floor. He slid it into his boot.
"Listen to me, come back. This isn't you and you know it isn't." He said to her. She laughed. She wasn't taking any of it in. Her true self was inside screaming. Trying to get out. He could tell she was fighting.
"Just come back." He whispered softly. She fought against it as much as she could. She shouted at her animal side to let go. It was over now. She had killed Johns. She didn't need to stay. Riddick didn't know what to do. He had to get her back so she was thinking rationally when he told her that they had to go get the others.
"Please Katy. Think of Jack." He said softly. With that, her animal side gave up. The real Katy wanted to look after Jack. She was young and vulnerable. She had to be protected. She couldn't save Alice, but maybe, just maybe, she could save Jack.
"Jack." She mumbled sadly. "She's with them. Fry was making them stay as far back as possible and I told Jack to go to them."
"Katy." Riddick said his voice strong and stern. "Come on, we need to go find them before they get theirselves into a mess." He said simply. She nodded and he took her hand. They made their way back to them and the others jumped when they made their presence known.
"Katy!" Jack said relieved.
"Where's Johns?" Imam asked sounding scared.
"Which half?" Riddick questioned right back. Katy backed up a little. She looked down at her feet. She was ashamed at what she had done.
"We're gonna lose everybody out here. We should've stayed at the ship." Jack said sadly.
"He died fast, and if we have any choice about it, that's the way we all should go out." Riddick said to everyone. Katy's head shot up. He blatantly lied to them. How could he lie so easily? Riddick moved closer to Jack to speak to her specifically.
"Don't you cry for Johns." He said to her. There was a strange tone in his voice. He both sounded, and looked evil at that moment in time.
"Don't you dare."
